Rolex Datejust

Hi to all,

Can anyone advise the differences between Rolex mid-sized datejust 78724 and 178274.... From wat i observed in appearance, they both looked the same...but with different model no..izzit becos of the different year of make or the different movement that they are using?

Thanks in advance and have a great day ahead!

Regards
Lim

White face 96 Explorer II $4800

If that budget is not a strict budget, I'd personally go for the subdate. It's going at a v good price for parallel imports. Can easily get better prices for the stated datejusts at chinatown.

It is actually a pretty stricty budget, but can still squeeze.

What is the pricing for datejust like in chinatown? If $5000 can squeeze in another lady datejust for my wife, I wouldn't mind

if you can stretch ur budget.......then the 16610 is a very good deal. however, does it come with open papers? technically it's no longer brand new....it's just a very new used watch...

at slightly above 5k u can also get the 116200....which is the new ss datejust.....the new bracelet and clasp are superb...

What is open papers? Can advise what should I look out for when getting such a watch?

If I were to stretch my budget, I would go for a professional series watch. And furthermore, I am not used to the looks for the new DJ (a bit kiddish to me). After trying on the jubilee bracelet, oyster bracelet on DJ just dont seem so seem so nice anynore

open papers = empty, as in no name was written in the warranty paper. if u feel there is a need, can always bring to rolex centre to authenticate....

the new DJ also comes with jubilee bracelet......solid end and middle links....and a hidden clasp.....

but then a brand new sub-date can be found below 7k also......depends whether u feel like paying the difference between brand new and quite new

Think about it, it's only like 10% lower than list price only (might be able to squeeze for similar pricing from AD) what's the discount structure for subs like? I know for DJs, it's 15% plus a bit more if paying cash.

How about the black face explorer II, for 5700, is it a good deal?

For open paper, should there be dealer stamp there?
If I go rolex centre authenticate, would they chop the date on the paper?
